Participate in the Business Bucks Program

BWP has hired Richard Heath and Associates (RHA) to run the Business Bucks Program on our behalf. For more information on Business Bucks—including finding out if your business is eligible to participate—please contact RHA at (877) 290-2590, email [email protected] or visit bwpbusinessbucks.com.

Step 1: Get a No-cost Energy Survey

BWP will send a certified resource manager to your facility to conduct a no-cost energy survey, looking at lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration, motors and the building envelope. A report will be generated listing the recommended efficiency retrofits, the cost to perform the retrofit, anticipated annual energy savings, and simple payback.

Step 2: Choose Retrofits for Your Business

Businesses can select which recommendations they would like to install and BWP's certified installers will conduct that work at the facility. Depending on energy usage levels (see table). BWP will pay up to $5,000 for recommended retrofits selected.

Range of Annual Energy Use	Additional Installation
Under 10,000 kilowatt-hours	$1,000
10,000 - 100,000 kilowatt-hours	$2,000
100,000 - 250,000 kilowatt-hours	$5,000

Step 3: Participate Again!

Past participants may now be eligible for a second round of funding based on their energy usage tier level. Unspent incentives from the first round of budgeted funding can be added to this amount. To be eligible businesses must have remaining cost effective measures identified in the audit.
